i smile

I have had such a rotten attitude about Eric's crappy night shift schedule (only 4 more weeks.. holllla!) so I decided to write an I smile post to talk about the good things with this schedule.

I Smile...

...because Eric cleans the house so much! I work out of town 2 days out of his work schedule so when he wakes up he is bored out of his mind. So the man cleans. Yay for me :) Oh! He bakes, too! Love that.

...because we go running together on his days off. We've never done that!

This picture is for you and Vinny, Nicole! Eric and I both got a pair of new running shoes :)

...because Eric gets 3 days off one week, and 4 days off the next! His crappy schedule entails 12 hour shifts, 7-7! Poor Eric. But we LOVE having those days off together!

...because we eat amazing breakfasts on those days off! We normally never have time for this!

That little orange totally makes up for the massive donut. YUM!

...because we appreciate our time together more than ever! We get so caught up in our every day routine that we forget to realize just how AMAZING it is to go to sleep next to each other.I don't ever want to forget how amazing Eric is... and this schedule is helping me remember :) I just need to learn how to not be so negative about it!

P.S. Another reason I'm smiling?? I got instagram for my crappy droid :) Yay! I still haven't figured out how to find people to follow yet... but until then... find me :) CourtBrink

I am going to find you! YAY! I love how positive you are, I know his schedule is crappy but to be able to find the good in it makes you a great, supportive wife! Better than me! and that tiny little orange totes makes up for the doughnut! Love it!

So sweet!! Love how the little orange 'totally makes up for the massive donut' hah! You're too funny! I have a Droid too, but I don't think I can get Instagram on mine!! :( I have tried, ever since I saw it posted online yesterday!

HAHAHA! I got Instagram on my Android yesterday too, and have NO CLUE how to use it! LOL! And that breakfast looks DELISH! I could absolutely go for a maple donut right about now - YUM! Fabulous smiles!

Oh my goodness that maple donut looks amazing! I need one! :] And yay for looking at the bright side even though it's hard to see sometimes. And yay for getting Instagram! I'll be following you super soon!!

It's so hard having opposite schedules. TJ and I did that for the first year and a half of marriage, and it was rough. Keep looking for the positive and console yourself with the fact that it won't last forever!

I love this! Continue with the positive outlook but I know you can do it. Trust me, I know first hand how hard it is to spend time with your significant other because of clashing work schedules but those days off together are HEAVENLY!

ha, you are too funny girl. i definitely eat the little healthy things thinking that they counter balance. but that maple bar donut is looking heavenly right about now!!and yes, it's all about appreciating and not taking advantage of your time off together ;)xo TJ

so sweet that you got to go running together! my husband did it once with me and at a mile he dramatically feel to the ground grabbing his heart, saying I was going to give him a heart attack. needless to say, it's been years since we ran together. : )
